    Summary

    The morning after that night in Karai Bari, when Miss Nami learned that Crocodile had fed Luffy in the night, she had covered a laugh behind her hand and said, “Well, enjoy reaping what you’ve just sown, buddy.”

    He’d just given her a flat, unimpressed look. “All I did was make a few extra of the sandwiches I was already making for myself. That hardly seems like the sort of action to invite consequences, even where Straw Hat Luffy is concerned.”

    But she’d just grinned and swanned off, leaving behind a smug, “You’ll find out,” as she sent her captain off to find the rest of their crew.

    Luffy, excited to see Crocodile again after bonding with him on their visit to Karai Bari, launches them into the jungle, where the pair have to go back the long way. While their crew search for them and Luffy has a grand adventure in the jungle, Crocodile decides this is a great time to have an existential crisis about the baby he left behind.

    Summary

    Written for Summer of Lawlu 2024. dawn | caught in the rain | "I never meant to fall in love with you, I just did."

    Law keeps expecting a shovel talk. His own crew had given Luffy one against his wishes, and Law brought enough bad luck to their relationship that it rained on the day Luffy had somehow convinced him to get married. How has no one given him a shovel talk yet.

    Six months after Luffy's been crowned the King of the Pirates, the two of them (plus their crews of course) sail to Windmill Village. Law stresses, because of course he does.

    Summary

    When the mark appeared on his wrist, Luffy was told that he'd fall in love the instant he met his special person. The thing was, Luffy wasn’t the type of guy to let some soulmark dictate his path in life, and Zoro looked awfully friend-shaped to him.

    Torao, on the other hand, with his dead-eyed stare and the furrow in his brow, had a really nice smile.

    Summary

    Usopp didn’t say anything, instead just pointing at Luffy’s soulmark.

    He blinked down at it in amazement. It wasn’t black anymore. It was a deep blue, gleaming metallic under the harsh lights of the cabin.

    “Oh! WOW!” he exclaimed. “When did that happen?”

    “When did… Luffy, are you serious?”

    “Why should I know?”

    “…they said it to your face!”

    “Oh yeah! Hmm…” Luffy paused, squinting harder at the words. “I don’t remember.”

    ———

    Everyone says that soulmates are a special, wonderful thing, and Luffy believes that wholeheartedly. But no one seems able to describe what makes them so different from the many, many other people Luffy’s loved in his life.

    And he was fine not knowing right up until his own words finally lit up. Now, not only doesn’t he understand what they stand for, but he doesn’t even remember who said them to him! And each passing day makes it less and less likely that he’ll find out.

    Oh well, Robin says these things eventually sort themselves out. He can only hope that she’s right (she usually is).

    Summary

    Luffy pulled in too much of Nika. A mortal doesn't stay themselves when a god moves in.

    Luckily, Luffy’s husbands aren't about to take this lying down.
